things are looking up.

i followed my mom's advice. after i closed up the work computer, i chilled out for a little while, watched an episode of six feet under, and then promptly went to bed before 11:00pm.

this morning, i treated myself to an extra 15 minutes of snooze, luxuriating in the feeling of not being so tired i want to die.

my first sign of good fortune was the moment i remembered i left my car parked out in front of the house on broad st. there are numerous signs saying "NO PARKING AFTER 11:00PM" and i have never tested that before. upon this realization, i quickly braced myself for a day of having no car, trying to find my towed car, paying for said car, and trying to work. i hit the bottom of the stairs and found, miraculously, that my car was still there un-ticketed and un-towed. it was like god was looking down saying "this one's on me, kiddo!"

i needed a break. i got one. off to a good start, tuesday.
